What kind of watch did Chris Kyle wear?

Chris Kyle wore the Casio G-Shock Military Series. Chris Kyle was a U.S. Navy SEAL sniper with SEAL Group 3. He served 4 tours overseas for the United States and is currently the deadliest sniper in American history with at least 150 kills to his name. Kyle was known in the region as “The Devil of Ramadi”, and known to his comrades in the U.S. armed forces as “The Legend”.

Kyle, and friend Chad Littlefield, were murdered by a fellow veteran suffering from PTSD on February 2nd, 2013. His autobiography, American Sniper, was adapted by Clint Eastwood into a biopic starring Bradley Cooper.

About the Casio G-Shock Military Series

The Casio G-Shock is a favorite in the military community for being a tough and durable watch loaded with many features a soldier, fireman, paramedic, or police officer might find useful.

The watches these days are digital in their complications, but analog in their time display. Casio claims the battery life is 2 years, and some even come equipped with Tough Solar chargers to automatically recharge.

G-Shock watches all include automatic atomic clock synchronization, and most will now automatically adjust to whatever timezone you’re located in using radio waves and local sources. The “G” in G-Shock stands for ‘Gravitational’ – the watch was designed in the early 80s to be able to withstand mechanical shock and heavy vibration.

The best part about the G-Shock is that it is incredibly affordable. Brand new 2017 models can be had for around $100, but if you go back a few years you can get a durable, feature rich modern watch for less than $120.00

Where to buy a Casio G-Shock

Around 2011, several rappers, including Eminem, started wearing the watch and vaulted it into the mainstream consciousness. As such, you can find them in your mall or local jeweler. You can also find some at a pawn shop.
